When I got those solar panels for the upgrade I contacted quite a few local solar installers and NOT one was interested in giving me a quote to install the panels After I said I wanted 2 in series then parallel. So I just did it myself, got all the gear from the local electrical supplier who gave me a huge discount due to the amount of stuff I wanted.
Now on exploding batteries, one of my mates worked as a forklift mechanic and told me what happened to him the week before.
He was servicing some 48 volt electric forklifts in a workshop when a worker dropped a shifter on the battery bridging the terminals well a 48 volt 1,000AH forklift battery exploded taking out 3 other electric forklift batteries and sulphuric acid filled the air in the workshop. My mate said he ran to his truck and got his respirator on quick as where the other workers just walked around looking at the damage. When he got home his clothes literally just fell off and after showering he was ok safety wise.
